Thanks. I'll drop the pullups and add front squats. Does doing more reps compensate for less weight, if I'm trying to build muscle? I mean is it better to do 3 sets of 5 at a heavy weight or 2 sets of 20 at a very light weight?

Oooh. good suggestions: bent over rows, controlled power cleans, military press, and deadlift...and maybe some curls. That should keep me busy for the next couple of months. Great stuff, thanks. How about this for gaining mass: Morning workout: Bent over rows: 3 x 8 Deadlift : 3 x 5...

Thanks. Actually I'm not that much of a beginner as I played football in high school and did weightlifting for 4 years (including power cleans so my form is good on those). I don't have bumpers so I don't know about doing power cleans. I stopped lifting for a long time, picked it up again...

This is good that everyones saying this b/c I ordered my olympic weight set, but not my power rack and bench. So I can only do deadlifts for the next 2 or 3 months until I get the rest of my equipment. What frequency should I be doing this at? In other words, if I'm just doing deadlifts: (1)...

Everyone's a comedian....

Since when are jumping jacks good for gaining muscle mass? Am I missing something?

Cheater. That's 2 exercises. ;)

If you could only do only one exercise with weights, which one would you pick? For example: curls, pushups, weighted chins, bench press?? Why? Assume you have all the equipment you need.

ok thanks. I do feel pretty sore right now in the chest (upper pectorals) still haven't ordered my powerrack, bench, and olympic weight set....

I want to know, if you're eating all these calories and bulking up and all that, how do you avoid gaining weight on your face? I'm a little worried about eating too much because I don't want to gain weight on my face. It looks good the way it is now, thin and my jawline and cheekbones are...

I'm thinking about getting a backpack, putting some weights in it and doing pullups and pushups too add a bit of weight as I progress. I know I need to eat to grow. I'm just wondering if my diet is good, will I gain by doing pushups pullups and bodyweight squats and lunges. Do a lot of reps...

It is possible to gain mass by only doing pushups and pullups? If so, how many reps a day do you think you'd need to do?

I have about $800-1000 to spend on it. I'm starting from scratch. Thanks.

Hi everyone. For personal reasons I need to start working out from home instead of the gym. My main exercises are bench, deadlift, squat and bb rows. I don't have any equipment at home. Can anyone recommend where I can get something like a powercage, bench, and olympic weight set, but not...
